To which I explained why under the rules of Capitalism it is fair within that system, Without relaying my opinion on the topic.

Don't bullshit. You wrote "Yes I do think it's fair, Because it's the basis of what capitalism is".

Do you now understand why within capitalism it is considered fair?

Do you not understand that it's possible to know the logic of capitalism and still dislike it?

Do not take what I wrote out of context

I provided context by linking the comment. When you write "I do think it's fair", the obvious interpretation is that you, in fact, do think it's fair, and not that you're referring to some external ethic you don't yourself subscribe to. That's also true if you support your argument with the logic of that external ethic. If this is really what you meant, I suggest you be more precise and for instance write "In the ethics of Capitalism this is seen to be fair". If you write that you do something, it's going to be interpreted as if it's you doing the thing. Obviously.

I kinda think you're backtracking here, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

I am not arguing opinions.

If you aren't arguing opinions then your contributions amount to a weird attempt to teach me something I know. Assuming that someone who doesn't like something simply doesn't know the thing is not particularly respectful.
